JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Agency (Disdukcapil) noted that 213,831 residents who had no longer lived in the capital had moved population administration according to their current domicile outside the city.

Head of the DKI Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Agency (Disdukcapil) Budi Awaluddin said that the number was based on the latest data until May 2024. In addition to the 213,831 residents, there were 1,170 residents with the status of State Civil Apparatus (ASN) and 42,000 other residents whose Population Identification Number (NIK) had been disabled with the status of death.

"For the data collection on the transfer of residents, now it has entered the second stage with 130 thousand residents temporarily disabled," said Budi.

According to Budi, this population relocation program is an effort by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government in fixing population administration (adminduk). This program was also welcomed by Dukcapil ranks in the Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi (Bodetabek) areas. "The community has also begun to be well educated by the program for structuring and controlling this population document," said Budi. based on data from the DKI Jakarta Disdukcapil, the number of residents with KTP Jakarta and staying in Jakarta is only 8.5 million people, while the total population in Jakarta reaches tens of millions of people.

Previously, the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta, Heru Budi Hartono, said that the deactivation of ID cards for Jakarta residents could be one of the prevention of banking criminal acts to other population problems. "Actually, for the benefit of the community itself, for example, there has been an accident, he lives in Jakarta, once confirmed, he doesn't know where it is," he said.

Improvements are also made to make it safer than banking criminality problems. "There are also many entrepreneurs or residents who are trying in the field of rent who expect administrative order," said Heru at the City Hall of DKI Jakarta, Monday (29/4). In addition, Heru said, the deactivation of this NIK started with public complaints about population issues. Therefore, this effort can prevent banking crimes and other problems that target personal data.
